I need to see overtime before payroll

See overtime before it's a surprise

Oregon's 48-hour threshold means tighter margins on every overtime hour. Your dashboard shows weekly hours per worker with the line clearly marked. You see who's approaching OT on Wednesday — not after payroll runs on Friday.

How Farm TC helps

Weekly hours dashboard with OT forecasting

Every worker's weekly hours on one screen. The 48-hour threshold is marked. Workers approaching OT are flagged mid-week so you can adjust schedules or plan for the cost. No spreadsheet required.

Overtime: before and after

Before

You find out about overtime when payroll hits. Two workers went 6 hours over. That's an extra $334 you didn't budget for (at $18.58/hr x 1.5x x 6 hours OT premium).

After

Dashboard shows the 48-hour line. On Wednesday, you see both workers are at 42 hours. You shift Friday's schedule and avoid the surprise.

Before

Your bookkeeper spends 2 hours calculating OT hours from paper timesheets every pay period. At $50/hr, that's $100 just for the math.

After

OT is calculated automatically. Export shows regular hours and OT hours already split. Your bookkeeper exports in minutes.

Before

You've never heard of AEOTC credits. Your overtime costs just feel like a tax. Nobody told you the state would pay some of it back.

After

AEOTC tracking runs in real time. You see your estimated credit on the dashboard. For non-dairy farms under 25 FTE, the 2025-2026 rate is 80% of OT premiums back. Confirm with your CPA.

Oregon's 48-hour threshold is now in effect

As of January 2025, Oregon requires overtime (1.5x) for agricultural workers after 48 hours per week. In 2027, this drops to 40 hours. Clean time records and weekly visibility are no longer optional.

Source: Oregon HB 4002 (2022). Confirm your specific obligations with a qualified advisor.

In 2024 Oregon DOR claims data, $5.1M of the $55M AEOTC cap was claimed.

The Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) refunds a percentage of your overtime premium costs. The 2024 claims data suggests many farms may still be missing it because overtime records are hard to assemble after the fact. Farm TC tracks your AEOTC eligibility automatically. Not tax advice — confirm eligibility with your CPA.

Common questions

What's Oregon's current agricultural overtime threshold?

As of January 2025, Oregon requires overtime (1.5x) after 48 hours per week for agricultural workers. In 2027, this drops to 40 hours under HB 4002. Farm TimeCard shows weekly hours on a dashboard with the threshold line so you can catch overtime before it hits payroll.

What about the Oregon AEOTC tax credit?

Oregon's Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) can offset a percentage of your overtime costs. The state has a $55M annual cap, but only $5.1M was claimed in 2024. For non-dairy farms under 25 FTE, the 2025-2026 credit rate is 80%. Dairy farms under 25 FTE get 100%. Farm TimeCard tracks your eligibility and generates the report you need for your application. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.

Does this replace my payroll provider?

No. We don't replace your payroll provider. Farm TimeCard captures time and exports payroll-ready summaries (CSV, QuickBooks, print). You still run payroll in your existing system. We just feed it clean data.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Punches record on the device and sync when connected. GPS is captured even without cell service. This matters because most Oregon farms have dead zones in back fields, upper pastures, or greenhouses.

Do you track breaks?

Yes. Oregon requires 10-minute paid rest breaks every 4 hours and 30-minute meal breaks after 6 hours (OAR 839-020-0050). Employees record breaks in the app. Break attestations are stored and included in audit packages.

What counts as a Monthly Active Employee?

A unique employee with at least one time event in the billing month. Seasonal pricing means you only pay for workers who actually clock in. All plans include 5 workers, with per-employee pricing that scales by tier.

Do you guarantee compliance?

No. We provide tools to help organize records and flag potential issues. This isn't legal advice. Requirements vary and change — confirm your obligations with a qualified advisor.

How does annual upfront work?

Pay for 10 months upfront and get 12 months of access. Commit to your busiest-month worker count. Best for year-round operations like dairies and nurseries. Private founding-member offers, when available, apply separately from public list pricing.
